Waypoints

Waypoints are, by definition, intermediate points on a route or line of travel. When traveling along a path – known or unknown – they are used to chart progress, stay on course or navigate to something familiar. This site is a digital trail of my outdoor and life adventures. Each entry is a waypoint.
